My Documentary Being Filmed "The Merikins"
Donation protected
My name is Beverly Springer originally from the Island of Trinidad and Tobago I am in the process of bringing my Ancestors story of escape from salvery in America August 1812, their joining the fight with the British Army to be set free on the desolate forested Island of Trinidad to building communities church agriculture and successful lives.
As I found my own spiritual path as a Healer here in America oblivious of my own history, I searched and prayed for understanding and discernment for my Ancestral connection to spirituality and healing work which led me to finding my Gramma Bailey's 1st cousin and our country's best known Healer of his time PAPPA NEEZER...Which I "randomly" found on a CNN video 10yrs ago...This planted a seed which I fullfiled a few months ago when I visited Pappa Neezer's home, touched his healing tools, visited his graveside held his over 100yr old bible in my hands and fully felt his Powerful Masterful presence; It was in those moments I knew I had to fulfill my 10yr dream of telling their Amazinggggg story.
I have been granted permission by all parties related to the preservation of our Merikin History and I am deeply grateful to be able to bring their story forward in my lifetime✅️
I am proud to declare my heritage and my bloodline of my Gramma Bailey of both original freed slaves Elliot ClanCooper Clan..5th Company..
My FUNDING is intended to fund the creation of the documentary and assist in the erecting of Pappa Nezzer Shrine to be erected on the very grounds where his own healing shack stood many yrs ago.
Every donation IS greatly appreciated
I pray that through this film my generation can proudly connect and find our Ancestors
